Prestige skins

I was intending to actually collect all of these skins. I genuinely planned to buy them every release.
That was until Riot shifted from &pound;10 and enough play time to &pound;150 or just under in hextech loot just to buy one skin. They&#039;d be overpriced at 40 prestige tokens let alone 100.
The hextech skins already exist all you&#039;re doing is creating another version of the same system... A system far too expensive for most normal people to take part in. Very few people can put &pound;150 into a video game once a month... and of those who are wealthy enough to be able how many does Riot honestly expect will?
As a business model surely 15 people paying &pound;10 is more effective than one paying &pound;150 as the fifteen are likely consistent consumers whereas the one off payer may only want this one specific skin?
To put this in perspective: for a worker earning the living wage in the UK Riot has increased the cost from one hour of wages up to fifteen hours of wages.
For £150 you could:
take a family of four to a restaurant, buy mains and desserts and still have enough money left to buy a bottle of wine on the way home
feed a family of four for around a week
buy fifteen music CDs/albums
buy coffee every day for two months or so
go to the cinema as a couple like six times maybe, even more, depending on how you spend things
It's absolute insanity what Riot is asking
Genuinely Riot&#039;s most money grabbing action so far.
